  1. How are surfactants selected for emulsification purposes?
    By their Hydrophile-Lipophile Balance
  2. What is the Hydrophile-Lipophile Balance?
    The relative proportion of lipophilic and hydrophilic portions of a molecules
  3. What is a measure that represents the relative lipophilic and hydrophilic portions of a molecule?
    HLB = Hydrophile-Lipophile Balance

  9. What is the application of a surfactant with an HLB range of 16-18?
    Solubilizing agent
  10. A surfactant of what HLB range is ideal as an antifoaming agent?
    2-3
  11. A surfactant of what HLB range is ideal as a W/O emulsifier?
